Release will typically just renew your internal IP.
You need to reset the modem.
Easiest way is to unplug and plug back in.

But to do it via software you need to log into your modem (password required).
SImply:
Hit windows key and "R"
Then type in CMD , thenenter
enter "Ipconfig /all"
look for the Gateway IP address.
Then enter it in you IE.
it is usually 192.169.1.254

Then paly wiht your modem and look for reset system.
I'm sure if you google your modem model number you can get some help finding the menu.
